Here at Spry we value sleep, which is why we invented a pillow that helps you sleep during the worst of allergy season. The Spry Pure pillow is equipped with a hospital-grade filter that prevents all pathogens from entering your pillow. With the Spry Pure pillow, you don’t have to worry about your pillow contributing to the dust and allergens in your room. However, avoiding allergens in other aspects of your daily life might be a little trickier. Keep reading for suggestions and precautions you can take to decrease the likelihood of getting sick this allergy season!

Do

  • Do, wear sunglasses! Sunglasses will prevent pollen and dust that might be blowing around in the wind from entering your eyes. Allergy-irritated eyes are also more sensitive to sunlight, so be sure to protect them with sunglasses.
  • Do, your laundry on the “hot” setting. Putting your washer and dryer on “hot” this allergy season will kill off dust mites and remove allergens that may be residing in your things. It is recommended that you wash your things at a temperature of 130-degrees Fahrenheit and that you wash your bedding once a week.
  • Do, check pollen counts and avoid going outside when it’s high.
  • Do, go on vacation during allergy season! An easy way to avoid pollen exposure is to skip town during the worst of it.
  • Do, control indoor mold by using a dehumidifier.
  • Do, wash your curtains and blinds regularly.
  • Do, wear a surgical mask while cleaning and or doing yard work to protect yourself from exposure to irritants.
  • Do, try a saline nasal rinse like a Neti Pot to clear allergens like pollen from your nasal membranes.
  • Do, take your allergy medication before your symptoms start.
  • Do, go to bed early, give your body a rest, and take a sick day when needed. Over-working yourself will on make you feel worse.

Don’t

  • Don’t expose yourself to irritants like smoke, perfumes, paint, hair spray, disinfectants, and air fresheners.
  • Don’t, wear your shoes in the house.
  • Don’t, line dry your clothes as they can pick up pollen.
  • Don’t, exercise outside when the pollen count is high

We hope these suggestions help you minimize your exposure to allergens keeping you healthy & happy. And, be sure to check out our Spry Pure pillow to help you sleep during this allergy season.
